The Great Lakes Firearms GL15223WHT combines the versatility of 223 Wylde chambering with a distinctive white receiver finish that stands out at the range. This AR-15 platform rifle delivers enhanced accuracy potential through its hybrid chamber design that optimally fires both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition.
What Makes This Different
The 223 Wylde chamber specification provides tighter tolerances than standard 5.56 NATO chambers while maintaining full compatibility with both cartridge types. This translates to improved accuracy with match-grade .223 ammunition while retaining the reliability of military-spec 5.56 rounds. The white anodized receiver finish offers corrosion resistance superior to standard mil-spec coatings and creates a unique aesthetic that's both functional and eye-catching.
